Good news for Android players and fans of the Phoenix Wright series of games. Capcom has announced that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies ($0.99) is set to hit Android later in May. The colon-then-hyphen title means you know it’s getting deep into this series. The fifth game in the Ace Attorney franchise, you’ll help out Phoenix Wright as he returns to action after Apollo Justice ($0.99). The game features 3D graphics in the style of the original 2D art that came to define the Ace Attorney series.
This is the second game to release on Android in the Ace Attorney series after the aforementioned Apollo Justice. What is interesting is that where Apollo Justice on iOS uses a $0.99 purchase followed by IAP including a $14.99 complete game unlock pack, Apollo Justice on Android just goes for $15.99 for the whole game. Which seems kind of backward, but perhaps only in the context of western markets? Dual Destinies uses the same business model on iOS of a $0.99 initial purchase, so I’m curious to see what Capcom has planned for the Android release. This is certainly a year for Capcom mobile ports.
Yay, another one! Keep doing this!
Said it before and not shy to say it again... love your writing Shaun. Whatever the heck you write about, doesn't matter, 'tis your style that counts to me. I'll even read every Update Monday that lately seems full of (personally despised, and totally not your fault) freemium rubbish, and I'll enjoy it, a lot.
Also regarding these articles and your reviews, the amazing wealth of gaming knowledge & history you've collected, retained and share is incredible. These days I visit TouchArcade daily solely for the forums and anything with your name attached.
I agree 100%. You should check out his Patreon page. Tons of great retrospectives to read.
Agreed. RPG Godfather ;-)
Seriously, where is Strider? Back in the day that was one of my two favourite arcade games (the other being Chelnov). I would buy that like a shot!
Yesterday Eli joked about "Arkanoid and Space Invaders cross fan fiction," and I chuckled. No one could possibly take a random, mundane subject like that and subvert it into an enjoyable read. Ha! What a ridiculous combination of writing skill and esoteric knowledge of historical gaming arcana that would require!
And then I thought of Shaun Musgrave.
If he ever had such an (ill-advised) inclination, I bet it would actually be entertaining.
Ironically enough, Square Enix let Taito collect dust ever since they absorbed Eidos Interactive. For them to remember that they still own Taito makes me happy, and hopefully we can get more international Taito releases.
